Wiki Link : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanguard_Way info : http://www.vanguardway.org.uk/ The Name explained : Between Autumn 1964 and Spring 1965, a group of high-spirited young people got to know each other by meeting regularly on the Sunday Ramblers' Excursions on what was then British Rail's Southern Region. On 18th April 1965, returning from the popular excursion to Axminster and Seaton in Devon (return fare £1.30! - £1/6s/0d), there was not enough room to sit comfortably together so they occupied the guard's van. The bonhomie produced in these unlikely surroundings, aided by a bottle of Drambuie that appeared from someone's rucksack, led to the formation of a rambling club called, naturally, the Vanguards.
